    Rare Viper to be Crushed

    Leno should purchase it just for his collection. It is automotive history. Anybody got this number handy? ;)

    Gen 5 Viper lifting tire during Motor Week test??

    Damn! I thought I was the only one that saw that. Thought I was going crazy. I would have to agree that maybe the camber was in question or maybe just suspension balance.

    Military and LEO Snakes!!

    Hey Kraaken I am on recruiting duty in the Kendall area. I was out in Doral last weekend at a Military Appreciation 5k and the local Vette Club Veterans came out. Nice bunch of guys but it had me itching to have the Viper there. Next year for sure. Craig,

    Military and LEO Snakes!!

    US Army just passed 18 years last month, myriad of jobs. Active duty in South Miami enjoying the "winter". The local vets should definitely get together.

    WOW 1st Corvette sells for MUCH more than 1st Gen 5 Viper!

    Hendrick bought two Vettes in a row for a million or more. The first was not for charity. They mentioned something about him having the best Corvette collection in the world. Don't know about the validity of that but man that is some big money.

    sebring florida race track

    Homestead in South Miami. To my knowledge there has never been a Viper Days here but they do Hooked on Driving Track Days on the regular. We have a few members that are known to attend. I am considering it myself but in the meantime I am doing my first autocross with the Viper next weekend...

    Viper Myth Thread. What have you heard?

    I have been out with mine on more than one occasion and had guys try to tell me about V-12's and/or V-8's in certain years of Vipers. I had one guy go so far as to tell me he had owned a V-8 Viper. He did admit his interior and engine bay was completely different than mine too. I know what...

    New Review with Scary Final Words

    Just my opinion but I brought up the viability of our V10 in its current configuration in the post, "Inevitability". Somebody mentioned the current racing iteration of our Viper taking Le Mans. No way! Have you read and seen how the car is performing? The size of the engine had to paired...

    Window sticker for '96 GTS

    Matt I have a 96 RT also. How much trouble or cost is it for you to duplicate? Great work and mine is black too. PS: On a side note if you have this program saved so you could just change out the information and reprint I bet you would have a lot of requests. Craig,

    Direct Injection?

    So if the intake plenum is your "pressurize air storage tank" then the question is what volume of air would the tank have to be able to have on hand to keep up with the demand for air being injected. Size of tank vs compressor capacity. Allan, why not? 50 years ago would it have not been...

    Direct Injection?

    Ok, I understand direct injection for the fuel but what about a twin nozzle for fuel and air? If my understanding is correct, and I may be suspect here, but it seems you could eliminate the intake valve altogether and likely then entire intake plenum. Obviously it would take a pressurized air...

    C6 ZR1 vs RT/10

    Almost looked like the ZR1 was dogging it so he could close on the Viper. You know just to see how much he could give away. If he was not doing that on purpose then he is a terrible driver.

    Mini Gen V In the Works?

    So can I admit I daily drive a Miata that is also my autoX car? I feel like I am at an AA meeting. "Hi, my name is Craig and I drive a Miata". I so need a bumper sticker that says my other car is a Viper. :)

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    We as a community have let ourselves devolve to this pointless drivel. "I am cancelling my order". "I am faithful to SRT and standing by my order". "SRT screwed up". "Pobst is afraid of the Viper". Really! We now have non-Viper folks in droves signing up just to post something. We brought...

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    This reminds me of Papa John's. Better ingredients, better pizza, Papa John's. Better brakes, better suspension, better tires, ZR1. There is no mystery here. The Corvette boys brought a gun to a gun fight. They set there sights on setting a new record at LS. It seems, seems I say, that SRT...

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    I think it goes without saying that we are all a little disappointed in the result and that it was so large at 2 seconds. No excuses the ZR1 pulled it off and I say congrats. In reading the article a couple of things stuck out to me as indicators of where the Viper fell short. 1st is the...

    Doomed

    Really? No wait let me make an ignorant political statement and then go on to talk about a car. Let me pretend that my asinine opinion about a very expensive car matters to 99% of Viper owners, oh and then let me insult that 99%. You are a paragon of insight and forethought, or what I usually...

    The Inevitable!

    So with all that has been said what would you think about a Gen VI Viper with a 5.0L, Direct-Injected, Hemi, that is both supercharged and turbo'd with a "Valet"/Fuel saving mode that would cut the boost for mileage purposes? 700HP/700lb/ft TQ and still hit 25 miles per gallon or better hwy and...

    The Inevitable!

    This is why I brought up the subject. Car manufacturing is a process. SRT might not talk about to us but you can believe behind closed doors it is being discussed and the facts are there for all to see. The 8.4 might make it in a production car for another three years, doubt it, but I don't...

    The Inevitable!

    I hadn't considered a smaller displacement V10 but I could see that with forced induction. I am in agreement with the V10 being a signature but evolution is coming. Gas guzzler taxes were just the volley across the bow, when that doesn't discourage enough it will be mandated. I am not a fan...
